Chapter 274 0271 [She is really my good daughter]

After returning to the county town, Li Bangyan and the other three wrote a detailed report on today's negotiations and handed it over to the inn to be rushed back to Tokyo.

Tokyo City is not far from Jiyin County, less than [-] miles away.

For this peace negotiation, Song Huizong set up many temporary stations along the official roads between the two places.

One every ten miles is the same route as the eight hundred mile express.

In this way, the cavalry can push the speed of the war horses to the extreme, and it only takes more than two hours to send the message back to Tokyo City.

It was already late at night when I received the discount.

However, Song Huizong did not sleep, but waited for news of the peace talks in Yanfu Hall.

Waiting with him were Zhang Shuye and Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son.

After Zhang Shuye fled back to Tokyo, instead of being punished, he was entrusted with important tasks by Song Huizong.

First, he was awarded the title of Bachelor of Longtuge, and then he was promoted to the position of Councilor for Political Affairs. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step.

This operation made Zhang Shuye burst into tears of gratitude. He completely forgot about his previous orders and wished he could die to serve his country.

As for Cai Jing, it was Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty who was ill and sought medical treatment.

After all, Cai Jing was old and suffered from eye disease. He could only see blurry figures during the day, and at night, he became blind.

At this moment, Cai Jing was sitting on the Taishi chair, drowsy.

Song Huizong's eyes were bloodshot, and he was even more uneasy. He could only divert his attention by confronting Zhang Shu Ye: "Ai Qing is saying that the reason why the Han thieves are invincible and invincible is all because of their hands." The firearm?"

"Not really. Although the firearms are powerful, the Qingzhou bandit soldiers themselves are also extremely brave."

Zhang Shuye was pragmatic and did not blame all of this defeat on firearms.

After a slight pause, he added: "I have never seen the effectiveness of firearms in field warfare, so I will not comment on them. But when used to attack a city, they are extremely terrifying. There is a saying in the art of war that attacking a city is the last resort. At this time, the general will not choose to attack the city."

"In the past, if you wanted to take down a city based on the height of the city and the thickness of the pool, you would need at least ten times the number of troops, and the soldiers' lives would be needed to fill it. But with firearms, the Qingzhou thieves attacking the city are like searching for objects, and they only need a few rounds of firearms. If you shoot, the defenders of the city wall will be defeated. They can first enter the camp and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and seize the city wall."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to develop firearms."

Song Huizong sighed: "How could I not know what Ai Qing said? Half a month ago, I had ordered the prisoner's puppet master and gunpowder master to develop, and offered high-ranking officials generous salaries and huge rewards, but Now there is no progress at all.”

Zhang Shuye was stunned: "Is it so difficult?"

Song Huizong smiled bitterly and said: "I have made a few of them. Their sound is like thunder, which is comparable to the firearms of Korean thieves. But how powerful it is? Alas, let's not talk about it!"

At this moment, the sleepy Cai Jing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you can start from within the Qingzhou bandits."

"Why do you teach me, my dear?"

Cai Jing was actually at home now and had no official position, but Song Huizong still habitually called Aiqing.

Cai Jing said slowly: "With this marriage, Your Majesty can make arrangements and send one or two clever and scheming maids to mix in, and promise that the family will be high-ranking and generous."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye frowned and said, "I think it's inappropriate. If I accidentally expose my details, I'm afraid Han Zhen will anger Emperor Xunde and Your Majesty."

Cai Jing asked, "Does Zhang Longtu have a better strategy?"

"This……"

Zhang Shuye was speechless for a moment, and then reminded him: "Han Zhen is a bold and cautious person. Ordinary palace maids without careful training are at great risk of being exposed."

"I have inquired about it and found out that the Han thief not only had an affair with his sister-in-law, but also had a concubine who was selling tea. He also forcibly took the granddaughter of Ma's family as a concubine. This shows that this person is a lustful person. Your Majesty can choose carefully. Some beautiful women will serve as dowry concubines, and the Korean thieves will be singing and singing every night, and they will not care about government affairs. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone."

Perhaps he was tired. Cai Jing paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, the research and development of firearms should not be stopped. With a two-pronged approach, your majesty will not have to worry about not getting firearms."

"Wow!"

Song Huizong patted his thigh and said with bright eyes: "Ai Qing is worthy of being the pillar of the country."

Cai Jing's face was calm, but he was very proud of himself.

Even at this age, he is still planning to return to the throne.

When Wang Fu was overthrown, he was also behind it, otherwise Li Bangyan alone would not be so capable.

Zhang Shuye lowered his head slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Nowadays, traitors are rampant in the court. If Cai Jing is allowed to return to the prime minister, those loyal ministers and righteous men may no longer have a foothold.

But he had no choice but to worry.

"Xingren Mansion is calling!"

Suddenly, the eunuch's singing came from outside the door.

Everyone was shocked, and Song Huizong hurriedly ordered: "Quick, bring it up quickly!"

The little eunuch trotted in and presented the memorial.

After taking it, Song Huizong opened it with an anxious look.

Zhang Shuye, Cai You and others also cast their gazes, trying to get clues from Song Huizong's expression.

"Hahaha!"

After a while, Song Huizong laughed loudly and said: "Li Bangyan did a great job this time and lived up to my expectations."

Cai Jing asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what is the content of the peace talks?"

"I love you..."

Song Huizong originally wanted Cai Jing to read it himself, but when he saw his cloudy eyes, he handed it to Cai You and ordered: "Cai Qing will read it to your father."

Cai You took the memorial, cleared his throat, and read the contents of the memorial word for word.At first, Zhang Shuye sounded pretty good.

The Han thieves were not allowed to establish the Yuan Dynasty and proclaim themselves emperor, and returned to Yingtian Mansion, including accepting marriage and so on.

But as I listened, I felt something was wrong, and in the end, my face looked extremely ugly.

250 million stones of grain, 10 bolts of silk, and 20 taels of silver. In addition, the captured generals also need to be redeemed with money, [-] taels each.

Such a humiliating thing is even worse than the Tan Yuan Alliance.

Li Bangyan deserves to die!
What chilled him the most was that both Song Huizong and Cai Jing and his son were very satisfied with the content of the peace talks.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuye stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is unprecedented for the court to pay compensation to the rebels. Li Bangyan is in a high position, but he does not want to serve the country and signed such a clause that is humiliating and humiliating the country. I invite you Your Majesty, punish Li Bangyan!"

Song Huizong was unhappy, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

If Li Bangyan is punished, wouldn't it be a slap in his own face?
When Cai You saw it, he immediately went out to help Song Huizong relieve the siege and said: "Zhang Longtu needs to know that this is a delaying tactic. It's just a little money and food. If it can make the rebels stop the war, it won't hurt to give it. Just wait for the arrival of the Western Army and the new army to practice. Then Your Majesty With strong troops and strong horses, we will surely be able to defeat the Korean thieves in one fell swoop."

Song Huizong nodded and agreed: "Yes, that's what I mean."

"It's Chen Meng Lang."

Zhang Shuye felt sad and bowed to apologize.

A delaying tactic, a good delaying tactic.

If the Han bandits only occupy Qingzhou, how many troops, food, and firearms can they have?

After successive battles, the troops must have been exhausted, so instead of seizing the opportunity to attack fiercely, they actually took the initiative to negotiate peace and sent money and food.

This is not a delaying tactic, it is clearly feeding a tiger into danger.

But he only dared to bury these words in his heart. His Majesty was already resentful of him. No matter how much he said, His Majesty would not listen.

Hearing Zhang Shuye's confession, Song Huizong's expression softened a lot. He turned to look at Cai Jing and asked, "The food is fine, but the court is in dire straits and cannot afford these [-] bolts of silk and [-] silver. "

In fact, Song Huizong had money, and there was quite a lot of it.

After all, at the end of summer last year, Wang Fu helped him earn tens of millions of dollars.

But this is his money, how can he take it out?

After all, Cai Jing has helped him make money for so many years, and the ways to make money are already at his fingertips.

I saw him stroking his sparse beard and musing: "The imperial court is in trouble, and the people should do their best. There are millions of people in the capital, and everyone is rich, and they can collect peace negotiation money from the whole city. If one person is consistent, he can collect enough compensation. "

"Well, this method works."

Song Huizong's eyes fell on Cai You and ordered: "Let Cai Qing handle the peace talks and money matters."

"The minister takes orders!"

Cai You answered with cupped hands.

Zhang Shuye opened his mouth, but in the end he only let out an inaudible sigh.

After chatting for a few more words, Song Huizong patted his butt and left.

Now that peace has been negotiated and the Korean thieves have stopped fighting, he can finally sleep peacefully.

The next day.

Song Huizong slept until noon. After eating, he sent someone to call Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Fujin looked puzzled: "Why did dad call me?"

Looking at the graceful and beautiful daughter in front of him, Song Huizong smiled and said, "My father has chosen a husband for you."

"My parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, but it's my father who makes the decision."

A flash of shame flashed in Zhao Fujin's eyes, and his head bowed slightly.

Song Huizong said: "The husband your father has chosen for you is Han Zhen from Qingzhou."

what?
Zhao Fujin was startled, and the rumors about Han Zhen came to mind involuntarily.

He is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist. He has the face of a leopard and a mouth full of sharp teeth. He likes to eat beautiful women...

Although she knew that the rumors were not true, she would subconsciously think of those rumors for someone she had never met.

Seeing that his daughter's face was pale, Song Huizong played the emotional card: "As a father, I can't bear to marry far away. Every time I see you, I will think of your mother. But Han Zhen wanted to marry you by name." , and then he is willing to return it to Yingtian Mansion..."

"Daddy, don't talk anymore."

Zhao Fujin interrupted Song Huizong's words and said firmly: "Dad has loved his daughter since he was a child. Now it's time for the daughter to repay her father."

She was so sensible, which made Song Huizong feel a little guilty. He said in a touching tone: "My dear, when you go to Shandong, don't make Han Zhen angry. Coax him more and say nice things about daddy."

The words "good girl" made Zhao Fujin burst into tears, and he nodded and said: "Yes, my daughter will save you. After marrying him, my daughter will definitely advise him not to rebel, to obey his father, and to be a good consort and a good minister."

Song Huizong was elated when he heard this, and said with great joy: "She is indeed a good daughter of father!"

After some comfort, Zhao Fujin calmed down a little.

Song Huizong warned: "You will go to Shandong in two days. Take advantage of your free time to say goodbye to your familiar brothers and sisters."

"My daughter will leave first."

Zhao Fujin said a thousand blessings, turned around and left.
